Rus Slater describes the unexpected outcome of a 360 degree feedback programme.
I was peripherally involved in a 360 feedback programme some years ago and it brought earth-shattering results for one particular manager.
The chap had always seen himself as the "salt of the earth" as he was an ex-shop steward. He was devastated to discover what his staff thought of him in a 360.
He hid the results, the only person of 20 delegates to avoid sharing.
I spoke to him off-line and he was stunned, but chastened rather than angry.
Later he told me he was considering his future seriously.
Later still I HEARD he had left the organisation and gone to work for a charity, where it was REPORTED he was both happier and more appreciated due to a change in his behaviours.
I take this to be a successful outcome but if he had been hurt and angry?...who knows!
Beware opening the Johari window, you may get a smell you weren't anticipating!
I hope this helps
